Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If a person is afflicted by jinn, is it permissible, when seeking treatment with verses from the Qur'an, to write them on pieces of wood, then wash these verses off with water, and then have the patient drink from this water? Is this action permissible or not?
Answer:
Yes, some of the Salaf (the earliest generations), such as Imam Ahmad, permitted it. He stated that one writes it in a basin or a pure place, then washes it and drinks the washings; because this falls under ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) with the Qur'an. Ibn al-Qayyim mentioned this in al-Tibb al-Nabawi (The Prophetic Medicine).
